Leadership Day by IGDA Finland: Save the Date and Call for Speakers

Leadership Day by IGDA Finland is an international event about how we build companies, teams and working cultures to build better games and will be taking place online on September 27th.

The inner workings and cultures of games companies are some of the least documented aspects of game development. Yet we and our work are all defined by these choices every single day. Join us in learning and challenging the cutting edge of leadership in games from some of the brightest minds in the industry!

Do you have a thought provoking talk on nurturing and building people and teams or shaping company culture? If so then apply to be a speaker. (Deadline September 3rd)
